VIETNAM COVID-19 GUIDANCE

Quarantine and testing

Although the frequency of COVID-19 infections in Vietnam is minimal, when there are suspected cases, Vietnam's authorities enforce quarantine and testing procedures vigorously and rapidly, frequently with little or no prior notice. As a result, places may be closed down and individuals may be ordered to self-isolate, quarantine, and get tested. This could include testing in the community.

You should expect to be quarantined at a government facility in at least 14 days if you get in contact with anybody who tests positive for coronavirus, and possibly more if you test positive at all stages. You'll be treated at a Vietnamese hospital if your test results are positive. You are asked to participate in self-isolation after release. You should expect at least five tests before being released from the hospital, three consecutive quarantine negative tests, and two consecutive self-isolation negative tests.

You must acquire a document that confirms this after you have completed quarantine and self-isolation. Keep this, please. The Vietnamese government confirmed that it will fund government quarantine costs. This does not cover anyone in Vietnam who has to pay quarantine fees from 1 September 2020. All foreign citizens are responsible for all charges of treatment for coronavirus in the hospital.

The quarantine centers in Vietnam are fundamental. If testing/self insulation and/or quarantine is requested, you should meet the requirements. Failure to do so can be an infraction with substantial penalties. The Vietnamese Ministry of Health mandates quarantine requirements. To get these requirements waived, shortened, or modified, the British Embassy and the Consulate General cannot intervene. Infringements are punished strictly.
